Jigghead Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 When my wife calls it "your bike" as opposed to using it's name. EDIT: Not a bike part, but: Camelback
Patchelicious Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 'Lefty' has nothing to do with on which side of your trousers you dress.If you always hang to the left, can you call yourself a Scalpel?
Pure Savage Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 When my wife calls it "your bike" as opposed to using it's name. Or when she says remove "that thing" from the bed ??
sakkiebomskok Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 This is a awesome topic! Soooo funny. I do really think that someone should standardise "jump" names. Coz they aren't jumps. They are rollers, kicker, tabletops, step ups, step downs, step overs etc.

Bobbo_SA Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 To "peddle" is not the same as to "pedal" Selling peddles ( even spell-check picks that one up) is not the same as selling pedals.. and so on.. Edit: I'm too slow - deleted.
Jigghead Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Or when she says remove "that thing" from the bed ??We're busy moving house and apparently need to pack up well in advance. As a result, my biking privileges have been revoked for a while. So I've been doing my packing in my cycling related t-shirts, you know, the ones, "I love it. When my wife lets me go MTB'ing" and "life behind bars", kind of a hint. I have about five of the latter. So, during the great pack, she asks, "how many off these things do you have?" To which I respond "a few, but I'm thinking of having them changed to life without parole" I believe this was the wrong answer!
Patchelicious Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 But you can peddle a set of pedals to a peddler who pedals.

Bobbo_SA Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 But you can peddle a set of pedals to peddler who pedals. And a peddler that pedals does not necessarily peddle pedals...

droo Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Its a bike. You get on and ride. When it is broken, you take it to the shop and say, "the thingmaybob at the bottom on the round part broke and duct tape did not work. Please fix it." Pick up bike and the guy says well Sir, your bearings ......... and every thing else is just a buzz in your ear as you understand nothing. You get on your bike and then you ride. Happy! Names schmaanes of parts. It just works. Not always well I might add, but it works. No man. Don't bring your sensible tendencies to a Friday thread.
Pure Savage Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 The day you find the correct one, please PM me.My insurance broker was going through our policy with my wife as I was at work or riding and when it came to the bike insurance, the poor insurance lady was so afraid telling my wife that my bike was insured for 4 times the value of my car. My wife had a chuckle, obviously some guys have been caught out like that before.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I know its a Friday thread, but there is no need for comic sans. Come now. I did not even read the post Dude. Comic Sans is the official Sarcasm font. Seriously. It was decided one cold night about a year ago. Reason being? Nobody takes it seriously. Fits the part perfectly, considering most people wouldn't know sarcasm if it punched them in the face and shagged their wives.
